    I had the pleasure of celebrating my 38th birthday at Ocean 48, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I was joined by a friend who was also celebrating a birthday, and the restaurant went above and beyond to make our evening special. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s thoughtfulness and generosity stood out. One of the highlights of the evening was receiving personalized birthday cards from the team—a small but incredibly touching gesture that warmed our hearts. To our surprise, the thoughtfulness didn’t end there. The restaurant even called the next day to check in and ensure everything had gone well, which truly reflects their commitment to exceptional customer service. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. We indulged in several dishes—almost the entire menu—and everything was absolutely delicious. Every bite showcased the chef’s expertise and attention to detail, making it difficult to pick a favorite. The manager and staff were the epitome of hospitality, setting a gold standard for customer service. Their attentiveness and genuine care turned our celebration into an extraordinary experience. I’m already looking forward to returning, this time with my mom, so she can also enjoy the amazing food and service. Ocean 48 is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that knows how to create lasting memories. If you’re looking for a special dining experience, this is it.

    Had the best time at RH last night! The space is absolutely stunning, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Everyone—from the hostess to our incredible server, Ri—was professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Ri gave us some amazing recommendations, including the crispy artichoke (so good!) and the truffle fries, which were a hit. She truly made our evening special with her exceptional service and warm demeanor. The sunset views were breathtaking. We can’t wait to come back!

    Angelina was an amazing waitress on Christmas day. The food and drinks were fantastic. While the inside of the restaurant is nice, it does sit on a busy street that was noisy. That is my only complaint. Everything else was great!
